Lawmakers vote for transportation funding lockbox

Senate President Pro Tem Martin M. Looney, D-New Haven, had opposed mixed-martial arts bills for years at the request of organized labor, which was fighting with a non-union casino owner in Las Vegas, who has a major financial interest in the fights.

Both MGM Resorts and the Schaghticokes filed federal lawsuits over the state's 2015 enactment of a law that authorized the Mashantuckets and the Mohegans to form a joint venture and to solicit casino site proposals. MGM has appealed the decision, and the appeal is still pending.

Under the bill, an Advisory Council on Large Entertainment Venues would be established to coordinate events at facilities with seating capacities of more than 5,000 people and "address other issues related to operating such facilities".
